1. What is the Engineering Intern Financial Credit Program (FCP)?

At its January 2007 meeting, Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) Council approved motions to
enhance inclusiveness in the profession by creating an Engineering Intern Financial Credit Program
(FCP). Subsequently, at its March meeting, Council approved the implementation plan for this
program. Under this initiative, which will launch May 1, 2007, individuals who have graduated from
Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) accredited bachelor of engineering programs or
International Engineering Graduates (IEG) with a Bachelor of Engineering or Applied Science Degree
may be able to apply for PEOs professional engineer licence at no cost. Also at no cost, individuals
may register in the Engineering Intern (EIT) program for the first year provided they meet specific
criteria established by PEO.
